A 30-year-old visitor from San Diego was hospitalized Sunday after falling 30 feet while hiking with eight people at a waterfall on the Commando Trail near Hana Highway in east Maui.

Maui fire officials said the incident occurred around 10 a.m. when the male visitor fell while hiking at the top of a waterfall at the third pool above Hana Highway. A hiking companion told firefighters that the victim lost his footing, bounced off of a rocky ledge 20 feet below the falls and then fell another 10 feet into the pond below.

A fire rescue team from Kahului reached the victim using the department’s helicopter and stabilized his injuries before airlifting him to paramedics at a landing zone next to the Hana Highway. Paramedics transported the man to Maui Memorial Medical Center in stable condition. A medevac helicopter also was called in, but was unable to land because of rain and marginal weather conditions.
